Clean and tidy

My young daughter and I stayed in the Blue Room for one night's mini break from Auckland. I was pleasantly surprised. The room with clean modern ensuite was perfect for us. French doors opened out to a path leading to the pool area, where we enjoyed the spa after a 2 hour horse trek nearby. While we didn't utilise the communal kitchen it was large and very clean. The staff were all friendly. The only downside was the tv in our room only had 2 working channels.More

Thank you very much for your review! We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. You'll be pleased to know we are currently wiring in the new digital TV system and will have 7 channels. Hopefully it will be ready to go on Monday :-)

We were in a small room upstairs in the main house. The room had two small single beds, my legs were hanging off the end and I'm 5'5" and the bed was far too squishy. Also there were no bedside lamps which was a pain. The baseboards needs to be touched up and new wallpaper done too. The door at the top of the stairs needs a new coat of paint. The upstairs bathroom was well appointed, but an extractor fan would've been good esp. with 6 people using the bathroom. I thought $50 a night was a bit steep with having to share facilities.

Got to see the outside studios though and the rose and gold room downstairs, they were both much nicer and I'd recommend those if you are planning a stay here.

Didn't get to use the pool or spa but would stay here again!

Had a nice time at this lodge this weekend. Very tidy, modern unit with full kitchenette and facilities. Comfy couch, queen sized bed, and bathroom. Lodge also had communal kitchen and lounge which had sky and a fireplace so that was nice. Big pool and spa (didn't have time to try the spa) Only downside was the small brick of a TV and the remotes not working so having to manually change channels etc on the set

Room Tip: The units are very modern and spacious

HI, thank you for your helpful review. We are pleased to say we have updated the channel system, which had died down to just 2 channels, from the original 4, for a two week period while we upgraded it. Since then we are successfully running 9 channels. We just have 2 TVs to update to a flat screen, just waiting on stock. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay in the studio unit and look forward to seeing you again one day soon. Liz & Geoff

Our booked B & B had to cancel our booking due to bereavement in the family.So had to book here during my travels. What a lovely surprise when we arrived and saw our studio. This was very nice with small kitchen,table chairs for eating. Chairs for relaxing,good shower and most importantly good bed.We were the inside end unit of Studios ( see Photo ) Even had chairs outside to have a glass of wine in the evening. So I was surprised to read other reviews.Re noise etc. ( we are not use to noise at home ) so quite sensitive to it.No problems at all. We were amazed how nice inside the main house was. Quite upmarket the lounge area.( free Internet PC.) Nice big kitchen with all equipment / utensils to cook plus plenty of crockery and glasses. I thought the next building down towards the road is a Police station. ( me thinking good for security ) Another reviewer said rooms for the lodge ?Warkworth is a good place to see all the surrounding area. Some fabulous spots to visit, our favourite was Tawharanui Regional Park. Anchor Bay is great.( see review ) Warkworth has all the main shopping you require including 2 of the Big supermarkets. Good cafes for coffee,we liked ''Gingers'' Would recommend Warkworth lodge to friends.

Stayed here on my own for a couple of nights, whilst at a local conference. It's a big old house, with creaky floor boards and high ceilings. It feels more like a home that a hotel, with a very large living room, where you can laze around on the big sofas or pop outside to the swimming pool area (more a pop in pool than length bashing). There is a big kitchen, so you can cook your own food if that grabs you or make yourself a cup of tea. It's homely in nature and has the air of a faded beauty.

The room was petite but big enough for a bed and couple of armchairs. I was in the Blue room, which was on the highway side..can be a bit of a hum from the relentless traffic scooting up SH1 but is quiet at night. The bed was comfortable but nothing too exciting. The bathroom was small but adequate, with plenty of towels and a decent shower.

There are a few cafes close by (Chocolate Brown is worth a detour) but otherwise all the action is at the beaches.

I'd rate this a 3.5 star but happy to give it the 4, as the welcome was so warm. Lots of information was provided on things to do and how to make it happen. It's a good spot to stay if you are exploring the area but, for me, not really a destination in itself.

We have just stayed for three nights in a studio unit. It had a small table with two chairs, a settee and an armchair, it was a nice change from places that expect you to sit on the bed (where I always fall asleep!) We found the bed incredibly comfortable, and slept very well. The kitchen was well equipped for basic cooking needs. The bathroom was well designed and the shower was excellent. Thank you Warkworth Lodge.
